I have a table in which data shows like:-

ID  -  LevelID -    LevelValue              -  ParentID
   18  -    2     -    External sensor label   -  1,5
   24  -    2     -    Left side               -  1
   49  -    3     -    Bent bottom of door     -  31
   50  -    3     -    Cracked                 -  12,22

ParentID column datatype is nvarchar(). now i need a select query to get only those column in which parentID is 1.

expected result is :-

ID  -  LevelID -    LevelValue              -  ParentID
   18  -    2     -    External sensor label   -  1,5
   24  -    2     -    Left side               -  1

could anyone suggest me the solution.

What I have tried:

i use like keyword but not getting expected result.

select * from Table  where  parentid like '%1%'

Don't do it like that: storing IDs as CSV in a SQL column is a bad idea as it is stupidly difficult to modify when the parent gets changed.
Instead add a second table with three columns (an IDENTITY Id row, and two foreign key rows to the parent and child IDs). You can then retrieve what you need using a JOIN, and the system will ensure that you don't get "orphaned" child nodes as well as making changes to the parent / child relationship a whole lot easier!
